This procurement process focuses on works related to level crossing construction and resurfacing works across the Eastern region of the United Kingdom, under a framework agreement. Businesses interested in this opportunity should note the pre-market engagement scheduled up until the 19th of January 2026. This framework, with an estimated gross value of £28.8 million, is open to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The contract period is planned to start on the 1st of January 2027 and end on the 31st of December 2030, with a potential extension to the end of 2031. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those experienced in level crossings and associated works like surface dressing and civil activities. Companies with capabilities in installing level crossing stiles, gates, barriers, authorised walking routes, and footpath crossing surfacing are well-suited for this contract. Given the project's size and scope, firms with capacity for both planned and reactive works can leverage this procurement process to expand their operations in the infrastructure sector while partnering with a prominent public sector body like Network Rail. ## Notice Network Rail (Eastern) is seeking supplier feedback to inform the design and delivery of a future procurement for the lift and replace of Level Crossings and RRAPs across the Eastern region.
